How many miles today? (RAF Cosford)

sworks · 19th April 2009, 20:23

How many miles have you done today? I expect mccano and juergen will have done a few. I did 427.7 on the same tank and still got a little left

I've just tipped over 502 miles pulling in to the driveway.. I brimmed it before we left, and I've just filled it up again with £50, so about 5/6 of a tank used.. Mind you, I took it considerably faster on the way home, so I think that ruined my MPG a bit... I think it was because Stocktake groped me at the meet - I'm emotionally scarred..

Raistlin · 19th April 2009, 20:50

268 miles for me, only 1 eighth of a tank left.

V8 power is a bit more expensive, I'll have to brim the tank to find the mpg.

As some of the V8 owners said today "don't bother worrying about the mpg just enjoy the car"

I passed Scooterchick on the M6 north on the way home and also passed justmickey a couple of times after stopping for a teabreak.

Yep, clocked the tea break Dave, and the overtake/s. Scooterchick also overtook me......was having a "leisurely drive home in the sun"....think I touched 65mph at one point!!!
240 miles on the nose round trip for me today.

627 mile round trip today on a tank and a quarter.
Was it worth it? Oooohh Yes.

Dragrad · 19th April 2009, 21:29

289 miles in total just over a third of a tank - used sports mode a few times for overtaking

Think I was about the same as you Simon, the low fuel light came on with 26 miles to go, computer said 42 miles worth of fuel left, didn't want to chance it so stopped at ???? oh can't remember but it wasn't Johnstonebridge

We're no long back, we had to stop twice, once for the normal stop then at the very next services for a 'poo' break.
